Well - My guess is that as the Jet is moving really fast - its pushing thru all this air. And, as it approaches the speed of sound - the air gets really collapsed or is bunching up - and, when it hits the Sonic Boom - I think its like its Breaking Thru that massive amount of compressed air. And, I think it causes some strange effect within the bunched-up/compressed air - which causes it to be visible. I've never seen it in person - but, I suspect it looks pretty cool. Of course, this is just my ponderings and not based upon anything in particular that I have read...

You are probably seeing moisture in the air. Use to see it all the time off of Jones Beach and either the Thunderbirds or the Blue Angles air shows.
